Skoda Fabia (15 - Present)

The third generation of Skoda's popular supermini has been given a slick new look for 2015 that sets it miles apart from the nice but dull Fabias of old. And appearances aside, major improvements have been made to the car as a whole. It has managed to get larger, yet lighter at the same time - meaning lower emissions, motortax and fuel costs, but more leg and shoulder room in the cabin. Standard equipment levels have been increased to include high tech features such as DAB digital radio and USB input, as well as Stop/Start technology to help keep fuel consumption as low as possible. It's also better to drive with a new range of sharp, responsive engines that offer a great mix between performance and economy, and the well-judged suspension set-up ensures a comfortable journey for all on board.
